Up the rebels, and to hell with Burgundy

Apparently a reference to the Hundred Years War between the kingdoms of England and France, but if you're anything like me, you'll recognise the above quote from Carry On Doctor 





When I saw these suedette lace up boots on Ebay I knew I had to have them.  Everyone needs burgundy boots don't they?  I've had loads of comments on them, but most people think they're red.  Either way, I'm good with it.  Anyway, I thought I'd team them with my newish charity shop acquisitions, floral gypsy style dress and longline burgundy cardigan.  I also wore my new favourite lipstick by a well known, affordable British brand fronted by a well known skanky supermodel.  Shade 107 (burgundy of course) in the matte variety.  I rather like it but it could do with being a teensy bit deeper in colour.

Dress & cardigan - charity shop
Tights - high street
Boots - Ebay
Pendant - Groupon deal
Brooch - high street


For all of you who commented on my last post, I send a massive 'mwah'!  Your comments were so reassuring and made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  

Onwards and upwards my friends

  10. I work from home, so I use to dress up as I'm going to a ballroom if I have to spend few hours out, I know that it sounds crazy, but I feel the need of being pretty and happy.I read Curtise's post and I'm totally agree with you both, an outfit is about our fantasies, our interests and about being an individual. To dress up only for feeling better with ourself is the best choice.The boots are amazing and the floral dress has one of the cutest print, I love the fobwatch pendant too!

  12. I want the boots, I'm coming up to your place to nick them. Or if you won't let me steal them we could watch Carry Ons and eat sweets. I knew I'd that line before! I love the gypsy dress with them. You look really gorgeous, love the supermodel skank lippy. Definitely in love with the victorian lady brooch - but the boots - I must have some!!! xxxx
